Dhanush comes out of the Tirupati temple as changed man

On July 3, the actor visited the Tirupati temple with his two sons Linga and Yatra. For the visit, his parents Vijayalakshmi and Kasthuri Raja also accompanied them. Both Dhanush and his sons had tonsured their heads to signify their devotion to Lord Venkateswara. Dhanush shaved off his beard also which is a key part of his Captain Miller look.

The tonsuring of heads is a holy act whereby a person shows devotion by shaving the hair off their scalp. It is said to signify devotion to the Gods or humility. However, fans of the actor also suspect that his clean-shaven, bald-headed look is for his upcoming film tentatively titled D50. It is said to be a gangster film, with SJ Suriya and Trisha being in talks to play key roles. D50 could feature him in his current avatar, though there are no reports to back it up.
